...broadest measure of liberty and prosperity since the Bolshevik Revolution. Khrushchev's intentions in the U.S. are just as enigmatic. Is he seeking a genuine thaw in the cold war that might lead to forms of peace? Is he seeking an American acceptance of the status quo of Communist conquests, a softening-up of American will? Is he trying to shore up his own status in Communism's labyrinthine society, and if so against whom-against an aggressive Communist China, against restless captive peoples, against hostile Kremlin cliques?

Desperate news photographers finally invaded Elsa Maxwell's beach cabana in the forlorn hope of finding someone to shoot. But Elsa turned back the attack with a barrage of pillows and a trumpeted battle cry: "Away! Away, dogs!''
